Chapter 1150 The significance of the successful development of photolithography machines!

In this world, no one realizes the importance of the future of lithography machines more than Yang Ming, and no one attaches more importance to lithography machines than Yang Ming.

It can be said that over the years, a lot of money has been invested in Xiangjiang Science and Technology City, and it has been completely researched from scratch.

At this time, in the global lithography machine market, Toyo's Nikon is still the overlord, and ASML, the future lithography machine overlord in history, has only been established for three years. The lithography machine company under the Imperial Group is larger than ASML. It was established even earlier.

In other words, what Yang Ming wants to do is not only to replace the status and market of photolithography machines such as Nikon, but even to be like ASML, the historical photolithography machine overlord.

By then, it’s hard to say whether Asmai will still be like the Asmai in history.

"Sir, shall we go to Xiangjiang Science and Technology City after breakfast?" Alina asked.

"Yes, I'll go take a look at our photolithography machine later."

Alina and Yingla still don't understand why Sir Yang attaches so much importance to the lithography machine, as if the emergence of this lithography machine is more joyful than the Imperial Group's acquisition of Huifeng Bank.

After breakfast.

Yang Ming, Alina, Ying La and others took the bus to Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park again.

Yang Ming just got out of the car.

He Chaoluo and Lin Xiuzhi are already here.

It's really convenient to come here now.

In addition to expressways, all subways are open.

Yang Ming had just arrived, and Dr. Liu, the person in charge of lithography machine research and development, had already come to greet him.

Dr. Liu is also a Chinese doctor who graduated from Stanford University.

At first, it was Yuan Tianfan who dug him back.

Dr. Liu returned to Xiangjiang, and after Yang Ming met him, Dr. Liu at the time did not expect that Sir Yang knew far more about lithography machines than many people.

In addition, Dr. Liu did not expect that Sir Yang would attach such importance to the research and development of photolithography machines.

Soon, Dr. Liu led his team to officially develop a photolithography machine.

It can be said that their team needs funds, and the Imperial Group provides funds and talents, and it has always provided talents as much as possible.

It took nearly six years.

Today, the first usable photolithography machine that is close to the world's advanced level has been successfully developed.

After Yang Ming and others came to the changing room of the laboratory, they put on clean laboratory clothes and then went inside.

Yang Ming saw this behemoth in front of him.

He knew that it was a commercially available photolithography machine jointly developed by multiple laboratories of the Imperial Group.

Among them, it was Dr. Liu’s team that made the greatest contribution this time.

"Boss, based on the comparison we have purchased with the most advanced lithography machines from Nikon, GCA and other lithography machines, our current lithography machines are at most half a generation behind them, which is about two to three years. However, As long as we are given time, we will definitely be able to catch up and surpass it before the 1990s." Dr. Liu said at the side.

Yang Ming nodded.

He knows that the photolithography machine is the carrier used in the photolithography process, and the wafer is the most critical step in the production process, so the photolithography machine is an indispensable equipment in wafer production.

Compared with the current lithography machines and wafers in the next thirty or forty years, they are still far behind.

Even if it is only two or three years behind the world's most advanced photolithography machines, it is actually basically sufficient.

Including various electrical products, as well as chips in game consoles, etc., all require the use of these photolithography machines to produce.

And in the future.

As the performance and efficiency of mobile phones improve, the importance of chips becomes even greater.

And the role of the photolithography machine is even greater.

For Yang Ming, a photolithography machine must be available. Otherwise, by then, if Europe, the United States, and Japan want to ban you, they will definitely be like Hua Wei and other companies in history.

Now, when Yang Ming saw this lithography machine, he seemed very excited indeed.

"Dr. Liu, the successful development of photolithography machines is a key part of the success of Xiangjiang Science and Technology City. Without photolithography machines, there would be no future Xiangjiang integrated circuit manufacturing company."

Just like Moss Semiconductor in the Wanwan Xinzhu Science and Technology Park, without the support of ASML lithography machines, it would have been impossible for Moss Semiconductor to monopolize the global high-end chip market in history.

In other words, Yang Ming asked people to develop photolithography machines. Even if they are not sold to other companies by then, his own company will still use them.

As for the domestic aspect?

Although Yang Ming and Mr. Lao have reminded him many times, Yang Ming does not know whether Mr. Lao and the country will seize this opportunity to truly break through the historical restrictions and blockade of domestic technology by Europe, America and Japan.

However, no matter what, there must be Imperial Group and Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park.

Now that the lithography machine has been successfully developed, other related industrial chains will follow.

It won't take long.

Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park can be said to be the place where Xiangjiang creates exports and earns the most.

Even if it is not as good as San Francisco's Silicon Valley, it will surpass the newly built technology parks in the Bay Area in the future.

Dr. Liu and others were there to introduce and demonstrate to Yang Ming. Yang Ming knew that with the addition of more and more talents from Sulian, and even some talents from South Africa, it would be difficult to recruit talents from Japan, Europe and the United States. Looking at other talents, Yang Ming knows that many technologies in the Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park will emerge under his promotion and affect the entire Xiangjiang, Asia-Pacific and even the world.

Come today.

Yang Ming just wanted to see the commercially available photolithography machine developed here.

However, Imperial Group and Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park do not intend to announce it to the public. Instead, they will first cooperate with companies related to Imperial Group. When the world's most advanced lithography machine technology is truly broken through, Yang Ming will then export these lithography machines to the world. .

Before leaving Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park, Yang Ming commended and rewarded Dr. Liu and other team members. In addition, their salary and benefits were increased again.

noon.

Yang Ming, He Chaoluo, Ying La, Lin Xiuzhi, Alina and others had lunch here with Dr. Liu and others.

In the afternoon.

Yang Ming took another car and left here.

When returning to the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay, Alina asked: "Sir, why do you value the photolithography machine so much?"

"Because it's an important part of future technology."

It can be said that this is not only the future of Xiangjiang, but also the future of Imperial Group.

However, Alina, Yingla and others still don't understand.

They don’t understand because they don’t know that the chips produced by photolithography machines will be needed in the future. It can be said that it involves all aspects. For example, the annual import of domestic wafers alone involves hundreds of billions of dollars and trillions of RMB. It is conceivable that , how terrifying is this.

Even then, it's nothing.

In the most difficult time, even though China had money, Europe and the United States still did not agree to sell lithography machines to China.
